For Those Who Come After…

This week, we’re shining a very proud light on the Video Game of the Year 2025, which happens to be the amazing and rightfully celebrated – and oh so French! – “Clair Obscur – Expédition 33” 🥳🎮

What makes this game so remarkably French? First, “Clair Obscur” was developed by Sandfall Interactive, a studio based in Montpellier, and made of a team of young French developers, who created a game heavily inspired by French art, architecture, and cultural references. From the Parisian Belle Epoque inspired landscapes, the French language omnipresent in the game and its soundtrack (included in its English version!) to many French-influenced names and characters, you Kwizzers can’t help but fall in love with this game (I know I did!) 🥰🖌️🥖

J’adore jouer aux jeux vidéos avec mon copain Matthieu, qui a une super console et un grand écran ! On préfère les jeux multijoueurs bien sûr, mais on aime aussi les RPGs, surtout en monde ouvert. On se partage la manette et on alterne chacun sa partie, comme ça on s’aide à trouver les différents trophées. On est des gameurs amateurs, mais on s’améliore avec chaque partie !

À vous de jouer !
